Pruning shears YATO YT-8811 Bypass, PVC handles, 190 mm, 15 mm cutting capacity

YATO YT-8811 bypass pruning shears are compact garden secateurs with a 190 mm overall length and a 15 mm cutting capacity. The bypass cutting system and carbon steel blade deliver precise, clean cuts on live wood, while PVC-coated handles in black and red provide a non-slip grip and user comfort. A safety lock secures the blades when not in use. Supplied as a single unit, these shears are designed for routine pruning and trimming tasks around the garden.

Advantages

The bypass mechanism produces smooth, accurate cuts that help preserve plant health by minimizing crushing of branches. Carbon steel construction ensures edge retention and durability under regular use. PVC-coated handles improve handling and reduce slippage in wet or sweaty conditions. The integrated safety lock adds convenience and reduces the risk of accidental opening during storage or transport.

How to use

Hold the shears by the PVC-coated handles and position the bypass blades around the branch so that the cutting action is made against the stationary blade for a clean slice. Apply steady pressure and complete the cut in a single smooth motion. For best results, avoid cutting branches larger than the stated 15 mm capacity. Engage the safety lock when the tool is not in use and store in a dry place to prevent corrosion.

Usage recommendations

Before use, inspect the blade for cleanliness and sharpness. Clean sap and debris from the blade after each session and apply a light oil coating to the pivot and blade to maintain performance. Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves and eye protection when pruning. For dense or woody stems exceeding the 15 mm capacity, use a larger pruning tool to avoid damage to the shears.
